Book Description

Foreword

At the suggestion of Sir John Marshall I am publishing Mr. Ross’s paper on. “The Numeral-signs of the Mohenjo-Daro Script”. The gist of the article is that it is unlikely that the base-language of the Indus Script is the parent language of any of the non-Indo-European language-groups of India (Dravidian, Munda, Burushaski), but that it might be Primitive Indonesian. His researches in this connection appear to be scientific and a definite step in the right direction towards the interpretation of the signs.
